Yes, it is. I think NATO's approach to Russia since the changes with the fall of the Soviet Union has been, “The doors are open. This alliance is not about you. It's not against you. The partnership volets are totally open on everything we are doing.”
It is really for Russia to determine what the nature of that relationship will be. The doors are wide open. We want maximum cooperation. Russia is going through a political transition. It will be interesting to see how they want to define their relationship with NATO.
As I say, there was a very constructive discussion in Brussels last week, at the foreign ministers level. So we do have a dialogue and a lot of practical input, including around Afghanistan and all sorts of difficult issues.
My hope would be that we can continue to develop that relationship with Russia, because they can be a partner in this security sphere that we are committed to.
